1. An anti-roll suspension system for a vehicle chassis having at least two laterally spaced front wheels, the suspension comprising:

  • an axle assembly for mounting each of a pair of laterally spaced wheels;

    a spring assembly for mounting the chassis on each of the axle assemblies;

    a pivoting link attached to a lower portion of each side of the chassis;

    a moveable control arm connected at an outer end to each axle assembly and at an inner end by one of said links to the chassis; and

    a tie link connected between said pivoting links defining an anti-roll linkage structured to translate a lateral force on the chassis during a turn to a downward and lateral counter movement of said chassis toward the up force side (inside of the turn) of the chassis and a vertical upward movement on the down force side (inside of the turn) of the chassis so that the anti-roll linkage simultaneously lifts the down force side of the chassis and lowers the up force side of the chassis to thereby counteract roll of the chassis.
